Any Interest in Duplicate Scrabble?

[doucy]

I thought it might be fun to play some Duplicate Scrabble. For those who don't know the rules:

-Every player gets the same rack and a blank board.
-Every round, each player will have 5 minutes to determine the highest-scoring play, and will PM the game moderator once he has made a decision.
-After the end of the round, the moderator will use a computer to determine the highest scoring play, and post it for all players to see. Then he will randomly select the necessary number of tiles to be added to the rack for the next round.
-Repeat until the supply of tiles is exhausted.
-The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.

I have a program that can produce duplicate games, so I would be willing to run this from time to time if anyone wants to play. I could upload screenshots of the game board and rack so players could easily view it.

Duplicate games are nice because they eliminate the luck involved in normal Scrabble games, because everyone gets the same letters. And it's also nice that the game isn't limited to 4 players.

Any interest?

I'm in. I've been playing loads recently but I still suck. After each turn you play the best play on the board, is that right? And everyone gets the same rack again to start the next turn?
